Jeon Hwa-seong's Startup Morning Coffee, Ep. 1110: Collaboration

There is an oasis-like program that quenches the thirst for a vibrant startup ecosystem. That program is 'Startup Morning Coffee,' a live broadcast hosted by CEO Jeon Hwa-sung every morning at 8:40 AM on his YouTube channel, 'Jeon Hwa-sung's CNTV.' Here, the program deeply explores the core competencies and market potential of promising startups, delivering vivid information to viewers through real-time communication, thereby effectively serving as a startup hub. The innovative startup introduced in today's 'Morning Coffee' was Solidarite Inc. Having accurately understood the concerns of Generation Z, Solidarite is completely transforming their campus life through 'KNOCK,' a lifestyle routine community. Crucially, it addresses Generation Z's deep desire for 'safe socializing,' where online connections naturally lead to offline interactions. 'KNOCK' features an AI-based customized timetable function, helping students easily integrate academic information optimized for them into their timetables, without having to wander across various platforms. This is a smart solution that significantly reduces inefficiencies in campus life. Currently, Solidarite is preparing for further growth under CNTTECH's Campustown support program. The heart of 'KNOCK' operates on two core pillars. The first is **AI-based personalized academic guidance**. Without the need to ask seniors or rummage through guides for complex academic information, AI automatically curates information perfectly tailored to each individual student. The second is a **safe and reliable socializing environment**. It provides a class chat function that allows students to communicate freely in a 'semi-anonymous' manner with peers who have undergone real-name and school verification, and 'anonymously' with classmates taking the same course, as well as a platform for those with shared interests like study groups, hobbies, language exchange, and group purchases to interact safely. These meticulous features elevate Generation Z's satisfaction with campus life to a new level. CEO Jeon Hwa-sung highlighted Solidarite's explosive growth potential. Its diversified revenue models, including service partnership fees, university commerce, and advertising, have already proven their potential by expanding the service from 3 universities to 22, recording an astonishing growth rate of 140%. A team composed of highly skilled professionals, including a CEO from Yonsei University and a CTO from Korea University's Department of Computer Science, further brightens Solidarite's future. Beyond innovating Generation Z's campus life, Solidarite is expected to become a frontrunner that will reshape the future social platform market, and its trajectory is highly anticipated.
